Spreadcoin Mining Guide
Sed8H56NJBTdY8E9Zuqs7o29g6xXz8fSD7
e1ghtSpace submitted the following as a mining guide. As I mentioned, I'm no miner. Does he have it right?
So guys, is my guide correct?
Yeah. Its correct for what hes using, obviously, because he has it working. Following it, if you have that setup is foolproof with the exception of tweaking specs for your GPU.
Im having trouble configuring my Nvidia cards still. Maybe someone can help.
What is the difference in X11 vs Spreadx11 or whatever its called.
I think I could use my Cudaminer setup thats already functional otherwise if I knew what the technical differences were.
The guide 8space submitted is nice just a little confusing explaining the .config but the dev says its already there.
To clarify the explanation of creating the .config is easy to understand and the dev having it already implemented is easy to understand
but the communication between the two; if you need to add it (.config) to mine despite it being integrated, is what is foggy.
You can not use cudaminer to mine Spreadcoin. Nvminer is more optimized for Nvidia cards.
Bat should be something like this: spreadminer -o localhost:PORT -u YOUR_USER_NAME -p YOUR_PASSWORD The username and password should be what you have it set in the config file.
OR spreadminer -o 127.0.0.1:PORT -u YOUR_USER_NAME -p YOUR_PASSWORD
example of config file (It goes in the appdata folder for Spread Coin):
rpcuser=YOUR_USER_NAME
rpcpassword=YOUR_PASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=YOUR_PORT
rpcthreads=15
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
Note I use the rpcthread but you can leave it out. (I use it to tell the wallet how many connections max connections for the wallet.)
NOTE: I am not using or tried Mr Spread's new wallet with the built in miner. This is what works for me since I am mining multiple rigs into one wallet although what I showed is only to solo mine from the computer that the wallet is located on NOT solo mining from multiple rigs to one wallet.
EDIT: Depending on your card also the nvminer might not work. I have never checked to see which compute it is set up for. I know it works for Maxwell cards though.
